TELECOMWORLDWIRE-22 May 2008-Newham Borough Council undertakes Windows Vista compatibility testing with AppDNA(C)1994-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

AppDNA, a developer of application migration software, announced on Wednesday (21 May) the completion of a Windows Vista application compatibility testing project for Newham Borough Council in the UK.

According to the company the analysis work, undertaken by HP, used AppDNA's AppTitude automated testing solution to analyse 120 of Newham's core applications. The solution looked at the applications' ability to install and run under Windows Vista and suggested fixes to address any identified issues to make them Windows Vista ready.

The testing results reportedly indicated that approximately 70% of Newham's applications would migrate directly to Windows Vista without any compatibility issues and less than 13% of the applications deployed would require remediation work prior to OS migration. Based on the findings the council is to begin a pilot of Windows Vista, with a view to deploying the new OS on a phased basis from June 2008.

No financial details were disclosed.
